Chapter 426: 425. Winter wedding
Chapter 426 425. Winter Wedding
"Knight Suldak, here is a letter from you!"
When passing the dormitory administrator's room, Suerdak was stopped by the dormitory administrator, Aunt Susan. Aunt Susan stuck out her hand from the half-open window, holding a piece of delicate letter paper in her hand, even the letter on the envelope. The handwriting is also the most popular handwriting in the Green Empire, and the handwriting is quite beautiful and smooth.
Suldak stopped and walked to the concierge of the administrator. He thanked Aunt Susan and took the envelope into his hand. He couldn't figure out who wrote it to him. Natasha, Rita, Sai Linna and the others don't know how to write letters, and there is no postman in Wall Village.
Suldak opened the exquisite envelope, and inside was an exquisite invitation card, which read:
"Dear Knight of Suldak: Baron Bird Kemp and Miss Nora Hoyle will hold a wedding on the morning of December 9th at the temple in Hailansa City. I hope you can attend with your blessings. wedding…"
I didn't expect Bird Tax Officer to hold a wedding with Miss Hoyle so soon!
Suldak held the invitation card with a faint scent of jasmine, and stood on the stairs sighing. Just over a month has passed since the Ice Lake Manor and the winter hunting event. Baron Llewellyn is already lying in the cemetery outside the city. The German tax collector actually won Miss Hoyle's heart. It turned out that Nora Hoyle was Miss Hoyle's full name.
…
Suldak treated the ancient horse's leg in the stable as usual. Although the old horse had been given strengthening medicine, the ancient horse's leg had been broken on the battlefield before. However, although healed quickly this time, it can be seen that the two injuries had a great impact on Gu Bolaima.
This Gubolai horse has lost a lot of weight recently. Although it is hung by a harness, it often loses its temper. When the stable manager put in the hay in the morning, he was almost bitten by it. It seems that he is also worrying about his future fate. As for worry, only when Suldak was around would it appear a little quieter and less irritable.
So in the past few days, Suldak would come to the stables whenever he was free. After all, the legs of Gu Bolai's horse had a lot to do with him. A full set of armor is slinking around on the knight training ground.
Suldak thought of Scholar Ferdinand. Maybe he would be interested in replacing his ancient horse with a stronger leg. After he was ready for his horse, he went to ask Scholar Ferdinand.
He picked up a brush and combed the mane of Gubolaima, and Gubolaima kept arching the horse's head into his arms, as if looking for comfort.
"Don't worry, it will get better slowly!" He said to Gu Bolaima.
At this time, there were footsteps outside. The stable manager would not come over at this time. Turning around, he found that it was Karl. He walked into the stable with his nose pinched, his eyes focused on his feet, for fear of stepping on horse manure. .
"I heard they said you are here..." Carl pointed to the training ground and said.
Suldak smiled and asked Karl, "Why are you here?"
Carl took out an exquisite wedding invitation from his arms, shook it at Suldak, and asked him, "Did you also receive Bird's wedding invitation?"
Suldak was not surprised by this.
Carl and Bird tax collector are very good friends, so it's strange that Carl didn't receive the invitation!
Suldak nodded, put down the brush in his hand, and said to Carl: "Well! I didn't expect the wedding to be held so soon. Speaking of which, Bird's arm is almost healed?"
Carl leaned against the manger, curled his lips and said: "The last time I saw him, his arm was still wrapped in bandages, so he probably hasn't healed yet, but this doesn't affect their wedding, and it won't stop them from getting married in a few months. born baby."
No wonder they didn’t choose to hold the wedding in the warm spring, because they were worried that the imminent baby would make the wedding even more embarrassing.
"...Winter is such a good season!" Suldak sighed.
Carl asked Suldak: "Are you interested in being Bird's best man?"
"...?"
Suldak stared at Carl suspiciously, then turned to him and asked, "Aren't you a close friend of Bird's tax collector? Don't you want to be his chief best man?"
The two of them left the stable that smelled like horse manure, and the hay manager at the door of the stable greeted Suldak with a smile.
Karl followed behind Suldak with a 'hehe' smile, and said, "Of course! Of course I am the chief best man, but you know that Miss Hoyle doesn't have many friends in High Lansa City, and the person with the best relationship with her is Darcy Christie, she was invited by Miss Hoyle to be the chief bridesmaid, and you also know my relationship with Marianne, so it would be embarrassing for me to be the chief best man..."
"So...?" Suldak rubbed his temples habitually.
"I think you should join the best man group." Carl finally said his intentions. He invited Suldak to be the best man of Bird's tax collector.
Suldak thought of the red-haired girl, but he didn't want to get too involved with her, so he quickly refused: "Forget it, this is my first wedding, I think I'd better stand quietly on the stage It's better to be a spectator now."
The two walked along the wooden railing of the knight training ground towards the dormitory. The trainee knights in the training ground held long spears and kept charging while avoiding the wooden man at one end. From time to time, there was a rush of horseshoes.
Carl looked at Surdak with a strange expression on his face: "Aren't you already married? How can you say that it's your first time attending a wedding!"
Suldak patted his forehead hard, pretending to be calm and said: "Please, how can the simple wedding ceremony I held in Wall Village be compared with this grand wedding ceremony."
"Well, if that's the case, then you can do whatever you want." Carl didn't care about the unnaturalness shown by Surdak. Obviously, he was also troubled by his own problem and was thinking about how to solve it. He just said casually: "Let me Think about how to solve this embarrassing problem..."
Suldak decided to change the subject. He really didn't have much experience in attending noble weddings, so he asked Karl, "It's only a few days away. What kind of wedding gift should I prepare?"
These Karls believed that Suldak should know nothing about weddings. He stopped and thought about it seriously, and said:
"Well, usually we can buy a bouquet of flowers..."
…
The wedding of Tax Officer Byrd was very grand, and this was the first time Suldak attended the wedding.
The winter morning was still slightly cold. Although Suldak got up from the bed early, he had a breakfast because of the delay. The Hailansa Temple was a little far from the Knight Academy on Dorenval Street. The old horse was also kept in the stable because of a leg injury, and there was no free magic caravan in the morning, so it could only walk all the way.
When I came to the entrance of the temple, I realized that many guests were already walking into the temple one after another.
He didn't have a suitable dress, so he walked into the temple wearing a well-ironed uniform of the guard battalion. The large round arched iron gate was opened inward, but there were some dead grass in the gaps between the bluestone slabs on the main road, which made the temple look It looks dilapidated and depressed. The whole temple is a Gothic-style building. Surdak walked into the temple hall along the stone steps. All the metal parts of the statues on both sides of the road were cut out. The hands of the statues have become empty, and even several statues have become incomplete.
However, there is a brand new red carpet on the main road near the hall. In the cold winter, there are flower baskets made of fresh flowers on both sides of the road. Wrapped in thin ice, it is so delicate and charming.
The guests gathered in the hall of the temple. Although the deserted temple was temporarily cleaned, many places were still covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had cared for it for a long time.
The guests were talking about the wedding of Bird Tax Officer. Some people expressed that they couldn't understand why the wedding ceremony was held in this temple. Obviously, this temple has been abandoned for a long time.
In fact, as Bernard Christie's niece, Miss Hoyle has a better choice. Christie's Castle is the best place to hold a wedding.
But someone seems to know the inside story, saying that the Byrd tax collector and Miss Hoyle think that they have been plagued by bad luck recently, so they think that this wedding should be held in the temple, and maybe it can be blessed by the Statue of Liberty.
Speaking of this, the guests shut their mouths at the same time. To be honest, Miss Hoyle seems to be possessed by a mold god. In the past six months, she has suffered from bad luck. The veracity of the rumors was fulfilled, and some people were even secretly thankful for it. Fortunately, Miss Hoyle was not chosen because of the large manor and a large piece of fertile land, otherwise the one who lost her arm might be herself...
Bird tax collector wore a gorgeous aristocratic dress and came to the temple on a black-scaled horse with a black coat. Carl and three other young people formed a best man group and rode behind Bird tax collector. Although the Byrd tax officer broke an arm, the wound has not fully healed, but for this wedding, the Byrd tax officer installed a prosthesis from Orianna's magic shop on the broken arm, making him look like an ordinary person .
Although Bird Tax Officer put on some light makeup on his face, the preparations for the wedding these days and his injured arm made him look extremely haggard, and his temples were covered with some hoarfrost in his middle age. He smiled and greeted the present The guests greeted each other and waited at the entrance of the temple hall with the groomsmen until Miss Hoyle appeared outside the temple hall where the wedding ceremony was held...
Miss Hoyle walked in from outside the temple hall wearing a snow-white wedding dress and holding the arm of Marquis Bernard Christie.
Dacy Christie and Miss Brenda followed Miss Hoyle as bridesmaids. Marquis Bernard Christie handed Miss Hoyle's hand to Tax Collector Bird, and said a few words to him kindly.
The temple has been completely idle, and even many valuable things in the temple have been emptied. Seeing that there are only metal brackets left on the wall of the temple where the torch should have been inserted, it reminds him of himself. The holy light torch in the magic pocket should be an artifact in the temple. Although it is impossible to be the torch on the wall, it also made Suldak feel a lot of feelings, thinking that at this time, the holy light must not be used. Take out the torch.
Originally the wedding ceremony should be presided over by the great priest in the temple, but now the witness has become the consul of Hailansa City, Marquis Bernard Christie,
Carl and Miss Brenda stood together so that it would not be so obtrusive. Mrs. Christie stood in front of the seat in the front row. She could not attend this occasion with Carl, but Darcy Christie kept a straight face the whole time. Occasionally showing a smile on Miss Hoyle's face is also very reluctant.
At the wedding, the newlyweds took oaths and accepted the blessings of the guests, and the wedding ceremony ended smoothly.
The wedding master of ceremonies arranges these guests for a short rest, followed by a wedding dinner and dance, which lasts until very late.
As the owner of Hoyle Manor, Miss Hoyle holds a large amount of property in her hands. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the richest woman in High Lansa City. She is also the niece of Marquis Bernard Christie. The dinner was naturally held in Christie's Castle. I heard from Carl that the chefs at the dinner were all professional teams specially invited from the city of Bena.
Suldak still has expectations for this.
Suldak found Karl who was finally free, and several guard knights who were familiar with Karl also came over. Everyone was going to find a place to rest for a while. At this time, they saw Captain Sauron's voice appearing in the temple. At the gate outside, he waited until the wedding couple and the guests had almost left, and then he said to Karl, Suldak and others standing beside him with a serious expression: "Knights, the dispatch order has come, and you will immediately go to Maryland." Cafe side."
Karl and Suldak couldn't help but looked at each other. The other knights of the guard battalion were also confused, and there was no news at all before.
Moreover, being able to make Sauron's big opponent Zhang get up from the hospital bed, come out with injuries and announce the task to everyone in person, obviously this task is not trivial, and Captain Sauron did not give everyone time to ask questions. He glanced at Suldak, and then He told everyone: "Before it gets dark at night, a magic airship will arrive in Hailansa City. Before that, prepare your luggage as soon as possible and gather at the guard camp in the afternoon."
"In such a hurry?" Karl said to Captain Sauron, who didn't expect to leave immediately.
Captain Sauron nodded slightly, and said: "The specific tasks will be announced on the airship. Suldak, you should also make preparations and set off with the guard battalion. I will find someone to deal with this incident at the Knight Academy. Suddenly, with you around, unnecessary attrition should be reduced..."
"Yes, Lord Sauron."
Suldak knew he couldn't refuse, so he readily agreed.
